Music knows no borders, and jazz is the language that has connected Hamburg and Chicago for decades. The first joint Hamburg-Chicago Jazz Festival will take place from April 15 to 20, 2026.
Over six days, artists from both cities will perform together on stages in downtown Hamburg. The program includes concerts, jam sessions, and workshops for young musicians.
The festival is organized by the Amerikazentrum Hamburg in collaboration with the Chicago Jazz Foundation. Tickets are now available on our website. Members of the Amerikazentrum receive a 20 percent discount.
